Twenty-five years after a New York City firefighter ran toward the collapsing towers and did not return, his son is driving a piece of those towers across America — not as a relic, but as a living argument against forgetting. The 'Steel Across America' campaign, organized through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, carries a massive beam from the World Trade Center's south tower from city to city, asking communities to stand beside something real and feel the weight of what was lost. It is the work of a child who grew up without his father, now old enough to carry the story himself.
